  Sir Gilbert Walker
A British scientist, Walker, who was the head of the Indian Meteorological Service, had been asked in 1904 to try to figure out how to predict the vagaries of India's monsoons after an 1899 famine that was caused by monsoon failure.
Walker was convinced that all these events were part of the same phenomenon.
Walker conceded that he couldn't prove his theory but predicted that whatever was causing the connection in weather patterns would become clear once wind patterns above ground level, which were not routinely being observed at that time, were thrown into the equation.
